Wasn't the model originally made by Ragingloli?
It was made by him.
The high-poly Colossus in my possession was indeed originally made by RagingLoli for his renders, and subsequently acquired by me. It was in the same state as his Arcada is now; that is to say, an absolute mess and a headache of aneurysm-inducing proportions to fix.
I fixed it. It took a hell of a lot of work, but it was done and the mesh is currently solid, manifold, and generally geometrically sound. I've done a lot more to it since then. I've modeled and placed the turrets (sometimes requiring editing of the base mesh, as RagingLoli did not leave room for them.) I've given significantly more depth to the girder portions of the neck and lower pylon. And, I've added a ton of detail boxed greebles, with more still to come.
In time I will also be generating and painting a full UV map and POF conversion. The final credit, I think, should be roughly half his work (overall design and mesh) and half mine (turrets and greebles, textures, cleanup and conversion.) VasudanAdmiral
did model the engines and teach me how to use the Blender-to-Collada-to-POF tools, so he deserves a mention.
Don't worry about this. That is all.
There has been more progress on the Colossus in the past week than at any time over the past year. It is exciting.
